minespatch Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Sorry for another thread pertaining to Beefalo skin trader but what is a Nox? There's no entry on the wiki, trader mentions them, their horns are used in the forge... Wonder if we'll ever see them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karmattack Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Probably short for Noxious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeddoFreddo Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 Dictionary definition of Nox:"the Roman goddess of the night Greek counterpart Nyx" The Greek goddess of night... guess what other Greek names have been floating around recently... Metheus. Or more specifically, Prometheus. The giver of fire to the humans. Coincidence? Possibly... Also, maybe the horns on the Nox helm are modelled after the horns of the Greek god? I'm no expert in Greek mythology and I have no idea if the god had horns or not, as I couldn't find any images online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rellimarual Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 The goddess Nyx doesn’t have horns. Usually she’s depicted holding a billowing scarf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrKoopa Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 Humanoid Ox? In the TV-Show Stargate SG-1 there are aliens called Unas that used tools that are similar to the ones cows, oxes and horses use in order to plow the fields. Not sure if they ever pulled a wagon. They were maybe not as intelligent as humans but they had primitive technology and used as slaves on a few planets. There is also an alien race called Nox in that show and they were peaceful people that would never try to hurt anyone. I doubt that the DS Nox are like that. What kind of preacful people would have helmets made for war? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maslak Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 I really feel that it's just some name. They had to come up with some name, right? But as always, it's already covered with thick lorey coat woven by people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
